I want to book a flight for next week to Thailand 3rd do you think it would leave enough time for my visa to be processed and be back to me in time by mail? I’m sending it tomorrow next day delivery and returned back next day delivery

I’m in the UK

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about whether booking a flight to Thailand for the 3rd of next week will give enough time for their visa to be processed. Community members advise that UK consulates do not offer a postal service for visa applications and recommend going in person to expedite the process. They also mention the requirement for an online application before sending any documents. It is suggested to visit a consulate directly for potentially same-day visa pickup, particularly for tourist visas, while NON-O visas have longer approval times.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

UK consulates don't offer a postal service.

You will need to go personally.

Alex James, all visas from the Thai Embassy, London require an ONLINE application before you send any documents. Consulates cannot do anything by post, you have to go in person.If you want a 3 month Non O Visa, then the required documents have to be sent by the consulate for approval to London, this is done electronically but can take 1-2 days for approval.
